Crane Operator Training, Certification and Evaluation (Awareness)
Learn what the crane rule requires before someone operates a crane: training, certification or license, and the employer's own evaluation, plus the limits on operators-in-training.
This certificate records completion of awareness training based on OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1427 and 1926.1430(c), (d), (e), (f) and (g). It is not an OSHA card or license, it does not certify, license or qualify anyone to operate a crane, and it does not by itself meet the training requirements of 29 CFR 1926.1427(b) and 1926.1430. Your employer must still ensure that each operator is trained, certified/licensed, and evaluated in accordance with 1926.1427 before operating covered equipment; provide each operator-in-training with sufficient training, through a combination of formal and practical instruction, including instruction on the knowledge and skills listed in 1926.1427(j)(1) and (2); train each operator on the safe operation of the equipment the operator will be using, and train employees in the other topics 1926.1430 requires for their roles; evaluate each employee required to be trained under subpart CC to confirm that the employee understands the information provided in the training; and provide the training, and any required certification/licensure, at no cost to employees.
